Thanks for the first-hand account, there Brummie.

I used to work with a lady whose husband was an LAPD officer(and once again I emphasize, I'm NOT saying all officers drink to excess) who was contantly being "assisted" by fellow officers with the "badge-wave thing", and who eventually DID cause an accident out on the road.(luckily...nobody seriously hurt)

I know it's older than sin, and in the human nature, BUT I think it's incidents like these "Brother-In-Arms/Free-Pass" things that I think get under the skin of the general population and causes some to question the sincerity and professionalism of many law enforcement organizations.

Cheers,
Dwight
(sorry...but nothin' will "get me goin'" than people who don't know their limit...whether they're cops or NOT)

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
